I'm currently on page six of my 20-30 page paper. Now that I have all the research done, it's rolling relatively quickly, so I may actually be done with it by... morning... sometime. But I'm finding a worse drawback to this paper than sleep deprivation - by the time it's written, I will have gained thirty pounds ( Read more... )

So, the topic for my three hour class today was "invited speaker - difficulties in investigating drug crimes." Okay, so that could be sort of interesting... I guess... right? And it's two guys (whose beepers were CONSTANTLY going off), and one of them is talking about how they're on St. Louis Co. PD but currently detached to the DEA, and the units ( Read more... )

It's up to you to decide whether this is good or bad news...

- My car was very sick. Moreover, the person I trust to fix my baby when it's sick wasn't sure that he could, 'cause he's a Ford/Dodge/Chrysler guy and I drive a Corolla. This was even more upsetting, 'cause I REALLY didn't want to take it to a dealer. However, the guy cleaned my fuel injectors and everything seems to be back to (if not better ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting at work, reading a book (ahh, the glory of library employment), and this book is getting more hysterical by the moment - and I'm only on page 8. It's We'll Always Have Parrots (say that aloud) by Donna Andrews (author of Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon and Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos... and I wouldn't normally post book ( Read more... )
